Description

These Deviled Egg Christmas Trees are everything you want in a holiday appetizer: festive, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make. They’re perfect for Christmas parties, New Year’s Eve spreads, or just a fun December dinner. A two-tone swirl of classic deviled egg filling and herbed cream cheese transforms these into edible little trees. It’s a quick appetizer, fun food idea, and one of my go-to Christmas party recipes.

Ingredients

6 large eggs

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon white vinegar

4 ounces cream cheese

2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

12 edible star sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Boil the eggs, then cool them in an ice bath.

2. Peel and halve the eggs. Set whites aside and mash yolks.

3. Mix yolks with mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until creamy.

4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with finely chopped parsley and dill.

5. Chill both fillings separately.

6. Pipe yolk mixture into egg whites.

7. Pipe herbed cream cheese swirl on top like a Christmas tree.

8. Sprinkle smoked paprika and top with edible stars.

Notes

For the best shape, make sure both fillings are well-chilled before piping.

You can prep the components a day ahead and assemble just before serving.

Don’t skip the vinegar—it gives the filling that classic deviled egg zing.
